How VTEC actually works

If you could create a dual cam cylinder head with ‘VTEC’ and put them on a small block chevy, the industry would turn upside down.

…quick food for thought:

good example -

-1981 Corvette, standard 5.7l engine rated 190hp.
4" bore x 3.48" stroke

-1993 Prelude VTEC, 2.2l engine rated at 190hp.
3.425" bore x 3.57" stroke

now ask yourself, how does an engine with less than half the displacement make the same horsepower? Simple. Cylinder head design.

Figure out how to put a pair of dohc vtec heads on a v8 and i guarrentee it will make power.

ive heard that the rl should be seeing a v8 in the near future i could only imagine what a blast that would be in a s2000 shell
